I am currently rebuilding the IRS on my 92 4.0L, The diff could do with a lick of paint so was wondering if normal paint will do? I normally use heat resistant paint, but after a chat with the group of mechanics where my workshop is- they all insisted that normal paint would be good enough, so thought I would get your thoughts.

The conversation came about as I am struggling to find heat resistant paint locally, so they all told me to use normal spray paint, I have my doubts about it, and think the diff and the brakes get quite hot so normally paint would just flake off.

What do you guys normally use?

 

Personally I'd be fine with ordinary enamel spray paint. In the USA a popular choice is Rustoleum....but I don't know if you can get it in your neck o'the woods.

Cheers

I've used this on a Mini exhaust silencer recently and it's holding up fine.
